Seems the ticket sales have come to a halt unfortunatly :(
What does everyone that have bought tickets feel about clsoing this down in say a day or so and cut away a the battlecruiser bpo's?
the bs bpo and the three cruiser bpo's should come to about what the tickets amount to. +- a few mill.
Or the bs bpo and a bc bpo maybe?
Let me know what you guys think :)
And for the record, its not to late to get a ticket :P ----------

Well, if sales have indeed halted, my vote would be to simply terminate this lotto, refund ISK and start a new lotto right away that requires fewer tickets and perhaps has a smaller and more specific set of bpos up for grabs. "bpo of choice" doesn't make much sense considering that most people who are completing for the prizes will likely chose the most valuable bpo over others (unless they are industrialists looking for something specific).
I'm suggesting that by putting named bpos up for grabs, you'll know exactally how much the prizes will end up costing, which makes determining how many tickets you'll need to make it fair and still walk off with a decent profit a bit easier.
I don't think anyone here would be upset if they got their ISK back and could use it to buy tickets in a new, smaller lotto. I sure as Hell wouldn't. I'd just buy tickets in the new lotto and go on with my life.
Anyway, I'm good with whatever the majority of people want to do.

Rather than cancelling the lotto, you need to:
a) revise the rules in your original post (max.2 wins per ticket holder) b) name the items that will be won and approx. price (people like to see numbers...) c) reduce your margin by adding more prizes (by your own post, you admit that you are likely to make 500Mil+ from this one lotto - isn't this a bit greedy?). How about 30-40 winners get their entry money back? You're still getting a pretty sizeable profit... d) advertise, advertise, advertise
BTW, the max. 2 wins rule is a bit silly. After all, what is to stop one player from placing multiple 2-ticket bets for each alt? In a way, you are disadvantaging the honest multi-ticket buyers (and indirectly limiting your overall sales)...
Me and my multiple alts will be buying 10 tickets...

^^ Good point. I actually considered buying 10 more tickets with an alt, thus increasing my chances to win two-fold, but that's just wrong. I also realized that these types of lottos require a good deal of trust in the lotto manager, since one of their alts could simply by 1 ticket and win the grand prize.
Fortunately, Xinity does have a great reputation.

Well, two things are certain then...
1. max two wins rule is hereby canceled
and 2. As for the next lottery, less tickets and named prizes
Also, for this lottery:
if all tickets are sold and this thing go to the end, 15 tickets will be picked for a ticket refund ;) ----------

Guess you picked a bad time for this, what with the forums being up and down for the last couple of days.
Hopefully now that things are improving the last few tickets will sell.

still about 100 tickets left... haven't updated in a while.
and the draw is once all tickets are sold. BUT if sales doesn't pick up in a day or two I'm cutting the draw short. ----------

I think that 2nd and 3rd prize are both battlecruiser bpos, so losing one of them in favor of getting the lotto over and done with is not something that sits bad with me. With little over (or under) 1 billion ISK worth of tickets left, at least one of the bcs might have to go.
Anyway, free bump. Keep buying tickets guys. That fat grand prize is still up for grabbies.

Yeah, I can understand that, but my question is really: "why?"
what I'm doing is offering a service, 99.5% of everything that goes on in eve is in one way or another related to increase one's wealth.
Just take my profit here, I send out confirmation mails for every person that buys a ticket, I log and I update and I keep track.. so far I've spent two weeks on this lottery, and that makes my profit 250mill/week for a small to modest amount of work.
Then you can compare it to t2 ship builders, they pay a little extra to get things delivered to them, set a build order, reply to mails, and make billions of profit on overpriced items. Just take the hulk for instance! dunno what the going price is now, but the last time I checked it was over 500mill. how much does this ship cost to make? I'm willing to bet less than 100mill (including the 30mill covetor they need) thats 400mill profit every day.
Oh and don't confuse this with talking down on overpriced items, I love that the market acctually work in a supply/demand manner :D
basicly what I'm saying, we all have goals, and we all have ways to make a profit. :)
Personnaly I'm trying to raise 21billions so that I'm able to buy all the skills needed to fly every ship in the game :)
and I'm really sorry that some might think that me making a profit on offering this service is a bad thing, but then again, I'm not forcing anyone to buy a ticket :D afterall, its you thats missing out on winning a 1billion bpo, not me ----------

Im agree, we all have goals :).
Yes the market actually work in supply/demand. And yes the T2 Market is overpriced but only because BPO is limited and 'hard' to have.
For your lottery, its pretty hard to criticize, good organization, reactivy... And the best you are clear, you write in the first post how many isk you will win in this lottery.
But 600M for a 2.5B Auction is too much to my mind. Maybe add 1 or 2 prices, you will win less isk but probably end this lottery sooner (i will help and take 10 tickets in this case).
Still a good work here.

Thank you, and I know that a lottery is a diffrent thing compared to the t2 bpo's, but its also a little bit more work, though some owners put alot of work in their sales and all honor to them :D
And I do realise that I might have turned my profits up a little high, but as I am also against changeing rules after I start something (except from when it benefit my costumers) I'm hoping that the lottery will finish like it was planned.
I have added that 15 tickets will be picked and the isk for those tickets will be returned as another 15 small "prizes", and the next lottery will hold probably a bs bpo and some "ticket return prizes" and alot less tickets to be sold.
Originally by: coolneo can i have a confirmation email plz, 1 ticket bought yesterday ta
I will log in after a shower and dinner and send out confirmation mails. the 10-15 last tickets sold have not recieved one yet as I have been pretty busy the last few days. ----------
